Girl meets boy. Girl hates boy. Girl agrees to marry boy against her will so her sister can get married, too. Got it? Experience Shakespeare’s play of matrimonial misery as you’ve never seen it before. Shrew uses the classic text—inverted, upended, and overturned—to offer a modern-day perspective on how far we’ve come when it comes to love—and how far we still have to go.

Shrew is presented by Seattle Shakespeare and ACT Theatre.
